Sitting MP: Neil Coyle (Lab)
Prediction: LibDem gain
Revised: Lab hold

To be honest this could go either way. Neil Coyle has been very outspoken against Jeremy Corbyn, but it’s difficult to know whether this will play to his advantage or not. Simon Hughes had an excellent reputation as a constituency MP and it’s entirely possible he may win back the seat. I think he will.
